Which is normal.
IIRC, DV baseline video frame resolution is 720x576i@25 (PAL) or
720x480i@30 (NTSC).
For audio, it's either 2x16bits @ 48 kHz (stéréo) or 4 x 12 bits @ 32
kHz, but this later format is less frequently supported.

Only *pro* or semi-HD variants of DV format supports more formats. And
synchronized audio track !

Sounds like a bug, then.

Anyway, thanks for bridging the gap between the Firewire DV media
add-on and the encoding side.
I'll find back my old DV cam tonigh, I bet ;-)
